Chatroulette is a site that's getting a lot of attention suddenly. It instantly connects you via webcam with random strangers, with whom you can chat, dance, wave, point... or just move on to the next one. Though reading this article about it, it sounds like you need to be prepared for as much rejection as fun. I haven't tried it 'cos my hair is a mess and I wouldn't want to frighten some poor kid in Iowa, but if you do, let me know how you get on.

We've previously discussed the possibility that a gay gene might confer an evolutionary advantage on the species as a whole, and now a new study suggests that being a great gay uncle might be keeping a gay gene in the gene pool.
Full article at the Los Angeles Times.
Evolutionary biologists have long scratched their heads over homosexuality in men: If there is a genetic component to male homosexuality--a view for which there is considerable evidence--then why has that gene persisted to this day? After all, if one were disinclined to spread one's seed in places where it would result in offspring and extend your bloodline, evolutionary reasoning would tell you that genetic propensity would disappear.
And yet they live among us--sons, brothers, dads and uncles. Especially uncles.
A new study conducted in Samoa suggests that gay men's avuncular ways--their willingness to love, baby-sit, teach and buy toys for their nieces and nephews--may be the key to the survival of the gene that may predispose some men to sexual attraction to other men.
Having such an attentive gay uncle confers a selective advantage on a child, making it more likely that a child will survive, thrive, prosper and reproduce, researchers surmised. Because of the gay uncle's availability and assumed role as "helper in the nest," researchers say, the child is more likely to grow up and carry his or her uncle's genes forward indirectly (and perhaps in an attenuated form), keeping the "gay gene" alive.

Otherwise you start rambling like a lunatic and people start shifting in their seats uncomfortably not knowing where to look.

I don't follow many people on Twitter (who has the time?) but one of the few famous people I do follow is Dita Von Teese, mostly because she often 'tweets' photos of gorgeous shoes. But here's a pic she just posted of her with RuPaul on the set of RuPaul's Drag Race, the second season of which has just started on US TV. Dita was a guest judge. Fun pic. (and it looks like they've upped the production values for the second season)

If any of these kids are under 18, then these dreadful people should be arrested for child abuse. And did these kids give permission for them to be exploited on YouTube like this? (I'm aware of the irony of me saying that and then posting it...)
